MID: Mythology Research Paper

[Marcia Norris <mnorris@ISGROUP.NET>]

Hi, Cyber-friends!
I've read many posts from you about teachers who send their classes to the library 
with
a research assignment that can't be completed because the teacher didn't do her
homework.  Well, I'm doing my homework!  I want to assign a research project to my 
7th
graders.  We are studying Greek Mythology and I wanted to let them choose their 
favorite
god, goddess, or mythological creature to research.  What I need is a list of 
questions
or some sort of format for them to follow which will help them find the necessary
information to include in their report, and which will not send the librarian into
thinking bad thoughts about me.

Is there any sort of format that librarians like to see teachers like me prepare in
advance?  Is there a particular way to go about this that would be easier on the
librarian and the teacher?

It is regretful that the librarian at my school will not be much help (I'd rather 
not
explain unless I can do it anonymously), so I'll be on my own with them when I send 
them
out to the World Wide Web, the public library, or our school library.

Thanks for your help!
Marcia
